LifeWay started in 1891, under the name “The Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention” under the leadership of JM Frost. It kept that name for over 100 years, and many many people still remember it. It was established after the 1891 annual meeting in Birmingham. Since that time the SSB of the SBC served as a steady rock through many ups and downs of economies, leadership, and politics. Take a listen and learn about the great history of LifeWay and how we got to where we are today.
